To be eligible for submission to the next REF, publications accepted from 1 April 2016 must have been deposited in an open access repository.

It is best practice to deposit in UCL Discovery as soon as your work (journal articles, conference proceedings, books and book chapters) is accepted for publication. Outputs not deposited within 3 months of publication cannot be submitted to the REF.
